Case Study
See The System In Action
Single-location med spa, 2 injectors, 3 aestheticians, $1.8M annual revenue. Revenue had grown 40% in two years but profit margins were actually declining. The owner was reinvesting heavily in marketing and new devices but could not tell what was working.
What we found:
- •Botox waste was running at 14%. That is $51K per year lost from partial vials, comps without tracking, and one injector consistently over-diluting
- •The membership program had 480 members at $199/month ($1.15M annual revenue) but utilization analysis showed the practice was delivering $1.38M in services — a $230K loss disguised as recurring revenue
- •Marketing spend of $14K/month was split across 6 channels but only 2 were generating positive ROI; the other 4 accounted for $8K/month with no measurable return
- •Treatment packages sold at a 20% discount were being redeemed at 95% (industry average breakage is 15–20%), eliminating the expected profit margin on packages
